Where the scheme applies

Derbyshire County Council highway area; Derby City is separate

Programme funding, a public location request or a planning right does not grant household highway permission. For any future eligible permanent route, obtain required permissions and OZEV eligibility confirmation before charger installation. Temporary covers and mats are excluded from the permanent-solution charger grant.

Your practical route

What to do next in Derbyshire

The correct order matters: do not buy a channel or arrange pavement work before the authority confirms the route.

  1. Confirm the highway authorityDerbyshire County Council and Derby City Council have separate rules. Follow the authority for the actual address.
  2. Ask for final criteriaThe September 2026 guide describes eligibility still being developed. Ask whether adopted terms and a resident intake have since been published.
  3. Confirm the complete offerAsk about costs, funding, equipment, maintenance and site consent. An anticipated funding year does not guarantee an award or installation.
  4. Wait before commissioning worksObtain written highway instructions and required permissions first. If eligible for the national charger grant, wait for OZEV eligibility confirmation before installing the charger.
